the improvements of modern bee culture are in
use. The almost perpetual bloom is in favor of
the bee-keepers. Mr.. Hill tells q reporter
that the bees are kept chiefly in hollow
logs from four to six feet in length. AS the
combs approach the ends of tho logs the outer
ones are scraped out with sort OF hoe and
placed in bags sacks, in which they remain
until the honey has been squeezed out of them
The honey produced in this way brings 20 cents
per gallon in the local markets. and the wax,
which is worth 20 cents pound. is shipped to
Spain. where il is manufactured principally into
candles for the cathedrals and churches The
honey produced by the apiares in which the
modern NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., hives, extractors,
etc.-are in commands 40 cents gallon,
and aside from the honey thus produced very
little Cuban honey finds its way into mar
kets, for the reason that the duty and freight
are about % cents every pound that comes
into the Uuited States.

How to Operate the Machine to Secure

The recent articles of the Tribune in regard to
documents at Washington. prepared by a type
writer in which the ink either faded corroded

among the manufacturers and of these

documents cow extensively written with the

the chemical division of the United States

typewriter with these ribbons have the ink
driven into them more deeply by the impact of
